HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,545, dated September 21, 1886.

Application filed January 6, 1886. Serial No. 187,807. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE WELLHOUSE,

of Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in heating stoves, usually known as parlorstoves, base burners, 810., in which a niche, cavity, or recess made in the rear side of the stove, together with a door covering 1 the mouth of such niche, cavity, or recess,

forms an oven, the object being to provide a stove of the class aforesaid having an oven formed mostly in the body of the stove, and

that shall not extend beyond the limits of the ordinary smoke-pipe attachment had at the rear of such stoves.

IVith these objects in view my invention consists in certain features of construction, and in combination of parts, hereinafter de- 2 scribed, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section on the line of x m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 2: s, Fig. 2.

I have chosen to illustrate my invention in connection with a modern class of stoves that are approximately rectangular in crossseetion, or so-called square stoves, in contradistinction to the round stove, although my invention is equally adapted to the latter class.

A represents the body of the stove; B, the magazine, and O the firepot. This class of stoveshave usually fines (not shown) leading 0 down to the base, and uniting with a flue, D, leading up the back side to the smoke-pipe, with a damper, d, for closing the lines D and admitting the heat from the fire-pot, through the opening (1, directly into the upper portion 5 of the flue D, or by turning the damper to the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3, the opening (2 is closed, so that the products of combustion must pass down through the side fines before entering the flue D, this class of stoves being usually known as base-burners. Heretofore the upward flue usually terminated in an opening for the pipe at the rearfor instance, at 0-0r the pipe-opening presented upward at or near the line 2.2. An oven was frequently attached, the same extending rearward some distance, so as to be much in the way, and presented a distorted appearance. \Vith my improved construction the flue Dis carried to the top of the stove, having a pipe-hole at I. A partition-plate, E, extends from side to side of the stove, separating the flue D from the furnace-space. This partition is located as near to the magazine as is practicable-in fact, is usually in contact with the magazineat the top, as shown in Fig. 3. The plate F is curved inward 1n the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, forming a niche that constitutes the body of the oven. A door,

G, curved to correspond with the plate F, completes the oven. An opening and cover, H, is provided in the bottom plate of the oven, for heating a tea kettle or other vessels. When the damper d is turned down, the heat within the oven is so intense that steak may be broiled by removing the cover II, or other culinary operation performed that requires a hot fire. It will be observed that this oven does not disfigure the stove, and extending but little beyond the base of the stove, therefore does not require extra room, and adds but a trifle to the initial cost of the stove.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. The combination, wit-h a heating-stove having a chamber located above the fire-pot and below the top of the stove and in open communication with the fire-pot and a smokeflue leading upwardly from beneath the firepot and terminating within said chamber, of an oven located within the chamber and a single damper for shutting off communication between the fire-pot and chamber, or between the flue and chamber, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a hcatingstove having a chamber located above the fire-pot and in open communication therewith, the said chamber having a smoke'ontlet and a smoke-flue leading upwardly and terminating in said chamber; of an oven located in said chamber below the smoke-outlet thereof, a door for closing the oven, and a single damper 10o for shutting ofl communication between the fire-pot and chamber, or between the flue and chamber, substantially as set forth.

3. In a stove, the combination, with a flue 5 extending upwardly to the top of the stove, one Wall of said flue being bent, substantially as described, forming an oven, a door for closing the oven, and a fire-pot in open communication with the flue at a point belowthe oven, 10 of a single damper for shutting off communi-
